We have the following <br /> concerns: <br /> • Business and property owners urge the timely revision of the <br /> federal flood maps, which are directly tied to insurance premium <br /> rates. <br /> • There is a need to monitor the spill-over flooding, which may <br /> impact businesses a1 the bottom of Ponahawai SU'cet, closures of <br /> Kamehameha Avenue and the recreational fields. <br /> • 'The embankment and adjacent lot are in need of landscaping and <br /> routine maintenance. <br /> Regarding the Kukuau Street traffic pattern, the DIA has <br /> reconsidered its position on the matter and is agreeable to <br /> the recommendations made by the Department of Puhlic Works. <br /> Again, thank you for soliciting the input of the Downtown Hilo <br /> merchants and property owners. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> ~~1Ar<< <br /> q(uvRoxanne Aburamen <br /> GG~~ Vice-President <br /> Hilo Downtown Improvement Association aooa 1Ka .5~~.
